Itinerary

Athens is transformed in the evening. The monuments are golden against the skyline and the Athenians come out to play in the cool night air. Enjoy a brief drive of the city before being taken to a Greek traditional tavern for dinner as pre-discussed by yourself and your driver. Your evening will start with a ride to the port of Piraeus, passing by the port of Zeas (private yachts) and a short stop to the famous Mikrolimano, then Acropolis and the Parthenon by night, the Temple of Zeus, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the former Royal Palace which is now the Greek House of Parliament, the Trilogy of Culture ( University of Athens, the Academy of Athens, and the National Library) then you will see the Panathenian, where the first

modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 and you will continue on to Lycabettus hill (Saint George) that is Athens’ highest hill, offering a superb panoramic view of all city!

Τhen you can finish your night by having dinner either in a traditional Greek Taverna at Placa with a view of Acropolis or at Piraeus port, spectacular Microlimano, next to the sea!

Athens is virtually a paradise for night owls. Whether you start with dinner and then hit the clubs or begin with a couple of drinks before making your way to one of the many live music
establishments, the city is sure to keep you entertained until the early hours. The atmosphere in some of the bars and dance clubs has to be seen to be believed, while a visit to a bouzouki club is an experience not to be missed. In summer, in particular, it appears that everyone is out on the town. The seaside resorts of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza and the northern suburb of Kifissia are especially popular and provide a cool respite from the city. But the choice is not limited to bars and club. There are countless coffee shops that stay open until late at night, taverns, restaurants, theatres and cinemas (both indoor and outdoor).
